The Frank Show

This book does a fantastic job of demonstrating how neat and interesting our grandparents or ancestors can be if we take the chance to get to know them. At first, Tom didn't think there was anything cool to share about his grandpa--he was JUST a grandpa, after all. But when his grandfather starts talking, he's amazed at all that he learns and how neat is grandpa is! The detailed illustrations are fun and different, though I didn't love the page in the beginning of the book with some scarier looking figures.

This is one of my favorite grandparent books! It tells the story of a little boy who has to talk about his grandfather for one full minute during a show-and-tell and is increasingly nervous and embarrassed about it because he believes his grandfather isn't nearly as interesting as any other family member. When his grandfather saves the day for him, we all learn a little something about how amazing his grandpa is, and might just be inspired to learn a little more about our own grandparents! The illustrations are marvelously expressive and add a lot to the story too!
